Smooch is where lovers, swooners and others aglow with affection can send their beloved a special message for publication on this page on Valentine’s Day.

But unlike the Valentine’s messages newspapers used to print, this one’s interactive, and comes with prizes.

That’s right. It’s interactive: if the object of your affection claims your Smooch by matching his or her email address with one you’ve submitted at the time of your Smooch purchase, you’ll BOTH be entered into drawings for $200 worth of dining and shopping in downtown Red Bank, courtesy of Red Bank RiverCenter! (See complete rules below).

But even without that, a Smooch is fun way to proclaim you love, in your own words — whether your mood is tender, funny or sexy or all three at once.

So, are you ready to give somebody a great big Smooch? Scroll down and order one in seconds!

Smooches come in two sizes/orientations:

The Horizontal Smooch will be published right here in this column on Valentine’s Day, with a way for your intended recipient to claim it, instantly. And it costs just $10.

Want one? Just fill in the message box below (you’ll have 200 characters to wax poetic), and then enter your beloved’s email address. That second step is optional, but participating give you BOTH a shot at $200 worth of shopping and dining in downtown Red Bank, courtesy of Red Bank RiverCenter.

Then, click “Add to Cart,” which takes you to a page where you can pay for your Smooch with a credit card or via PayPal.
